I like Eclipse.

I like Eclipse too. It's mysterious and for the record, I don't think we've ever had a real Eclipse in Azeroth besides the random Night Warrior thing? Was that even an eclipse?

[matijwow]

Is there anything more kikoo than Shadow of Azeroth?

Please, for God's sake. Repent and may God have mercy on you.

Shadowlands
Dragonflight
Stormbreaker

Simple. Efficient. Evocative.

10/10 would fuck with this.

These are suspected to be Brawler guild related iirc.

I haven’t seen anything pointing to them being brawler’s guild.
Last I saw was the map they’re tied to wasn’t in the database. If it was brawler’s guild why would they be tied to a brand new map and not the tram or brawlgar?

There's "The Embrace" when the two moons overlap, and that happened around Cataclysm when Kalec became the new aspect.

[Nightshade711]

That would make sense given the wildly varying themes between the NPCs.

Tbh they’re not really wildly varying in themes. The models are obviously placeholders, but in name they’re pretty closely tied. (Which is obvious because the ‘Light Knight’ uses a mawsworn model, and the mawsworn varies pretty drastically from a being of the light)

Especially IF next xpac is light vs void like Scaleface said.

just caught up. so, what's the most "likely to happen" leak at this point?

Could be tied to a new capital or zone maybe?

[ercarp]

I'm a bit out of the loop, what's the source behind "SoA"?

A Diablo 4 leak mentioned that the acronym of the new WoW expansion would be SoA and that it would be a world revamp.

Some website posted an article that seems to lend a bit of credibility to the leak's info about Diablo 4, which would also mean the stuff about SoA is correct too. But since we don't know the sources of the article, there's good reason to remain skeptical.

[Nightshade711]

Not sure. The database they’re found in is “DungeonEncounter” which also includes raids.

I don’t see any brawler’s guild bosses in that database.

The guy who accurately leaked Diablo 4 stuff from a bugged datamine posted one "leak" about WoW and that's that it's a revamp expansion whose title is abbreviated SoA.

can you post the leak? i want to read it

[Kiivar86]

As PotHockets posted, that SoA thing looks like a fake one in the end, I think.

[matijwow]

If we're thinking about Light vs. Void and Yrel again, there are other plot threads they could pick up from WoD.

There's Ephial who turned Admiral Taylor's garrison undead for some unknown master.

Also, in Mythic Highmaul, AU Cho'gall uses a bunch of void magic and dies saying "He comes... (You can never escape...)."

Very vague and generic but if the Naaru can travel to Outland/Draenor, why can't a void Naaru? Or a void lord like Dimensius?

Stormbreaker

fr, its probably the leaker named @22mage22

Stormbreaker was confirmed fake

New Expansion: Nahantu

This vast land, similar in size to the other five zones, is teeming with untamed wilderness and ancient secrets waiting to be discovered.

Nahantu is a land of contrasts, from the Restless Canopy’s verdant foliage to the barren expanse of the Teganze Plateau. It is home to the Field of Giants, a place of lingering hatred, and the dark depths of the Kurast Sewers. Each location presents unique challenges and opportunities for the Spiritborn, whose connection with nature will be tested like never before.

The zone comes with new quests that will take players on a journey through Nahantu’s many dungeons. From the eerie Forge of Malice and Sleepless Hollow to the haunting Forgotten Remains and Ruined Wild, each dungeon holds dangers and treasures in equal measure.

The campaign will lead players through the Durance of Hate, to the Gates of the Necropolis, into the ethereal Spirit Realm, and finally to the Five Hills - the tomb of Akarat. Each step of this journey will reveal more about Nahantu’s history and its connection to the Spiritborn.

The pinnacle of Nahantu’s challenges is a new raid centered around Khazra. With five wings to conquer, this raid will push even the most seasoned adventurers to their limits.

New class: SpiritBorn - Uses glaives.

The release of the Spiritborn class opens up a whole new way to experience Diablo 4. Their unique abilities and playstyle offer fresh strategies for tackling Nahantu’s challenges. Whether you’re navigating through the Restless Canopy or battling in the depths of Kurast Sewers, playing as a Spiritborn in Nahantu promises an adventure like no other.

The Spiritborn, a class deeply rooted in the elements of nature and the spiritual realm. They are the children of the wild, born from the spirit of the plains, sky, soil, and forest. Their souls are intertwined with the world around them, drawing strength from the very essence of life and nature.

Their weapon of choice is the glaive, a symbol of their connection to both the physical and spiritual realms. The glaive is more than just a weapon to a Spiritborn; it is an extension of their spirit, a conduit through which they channel their power.

The Spiritborn’s power comes from two resources: Vigor and Allegiance. Vigor represents their physical vitality and endurance, gained from their bond with the earth and sky. It fuels their physical abilities and allows them to perform feats of agility and strength beyond normal capabilities.

Allegiance, on the other hand, represents their spiritual connection to nature and its creatures. It is through Allegiance that they can call upon the spirits of nature for aid, summoning ethereal allies or invoking powerful elemental spells.

The Spiritborn are not merely fighters; they are guardians of balance. They stand on the boundary between the physical world and the spiritual realm, ensuring harmony between the two. Their mission is not just to defeat their enemies but to preserve the natural order of things.

In battle, a Spiritborn is a sight to behold. They move with the grace of the wind, their glaives dancing like leaves in a storm. Their attacks are fluid and relentless, like a river carving its path through stone. And when they call upon their spiritual powers, the air around them crackles with raw elemental energy.

Whether you’re drawn to their unique blend of physical prowess and spiritual power or their noble mission to preserve balance in the world, playing as a Spiritborn offers a truly unique experience in Sanctuary.

please reread my message

Oops, my fault. Can confirm that Stormbreaker is not from 22mage22. Wink wink.

[PotHockets]

The guy who accurately leaked Diablo 4 stuff from a bugged datamine posted one "leak" about WoW and that's that it's a revamp expansion whose title is abbreviated SoA.

Just wanna point out that the D4 Datamine does not appear anywhere else on any search engine except for that one website that personally I've never heard of before. It's not anywhere in any Diablo communities, its not on any leak communities, it appears exclusively on that website.

The same day the leak was posted here it was also posted by someone on a private server site verbatim. That poster was not new and their posting history indicates no potential connection to Blizz or a Blizz employee and does contain gold buying posts and other things a Blizz employee is very unlikely to partake in.

It could be legit but super heavy grain of salt on that one.
